Ground securing rod

Abstract

A ground securing rod includes a hollow metal rod ( 1 ), whose drive-in end has a flat helical section whose diameter is slightly larger than that of the bar ( 2 ), terminating in a tip ( 3 ). The section is made with the body of the rod ( 1 ) itself by a reduction in its diameter in combination with stamping of the rod in order to flatten it, whereby it is twisted until the helical section is formed, which has a cone-shaped reinforcement at its base ( 4 ), while at its upper end the rod ( 1 ) has an attached upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ), having a seat ( 6 ) for a torsion lever ( 7 ) that can be inserted into a through opening ( 8 ) located at the upper end of the rod and is positioned in the area covered by the upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ).

1. A ground securing rod for supporting an umbrella having a shaft, consisting of:
 a hollow metal rod ( 1 ) having an upper end and a base end, whose drive-in end has a flat helical section whose diameter is slightly larger than the rod ( 2 ), terminating in a tip ( 3 ) below the base end of rod, whereby the section is made with a body of the rod ( 1 ) itself by means of a reduction in its diameter in combination with stamping of the rod in order to flatten the rod, whereby the rod is twisted until the helical section is formed, which comprises a cone-shaped reinforcement at the base end ( 4 ) of rod, while at its upper end the rod ( 1 ) has an attached upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ), which comprises a seat ( 6 ) extending outwardly from the reinforcing piece for a torsion lever ( 7 ) that can be inserted into a through opening ( 8 ) that is located at the upper end of the rod and is positioned in an area covered by the upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ), whereby the shaft of the umbrella extends through the opening of the reinforcing piece and hollow rod. 
 
     
     
       2. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the seat is formed by one or more U-shaped protruding bodies that are equipped with lateral reinforcements ( 9 ) that encompass the torsion lever ( 7 ), clamping it in a position that is parallel to the axis of the rod ( 1 ). 
     
     
       3. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) is of variable shape so that the rod can be adapted to different uses. 
     
     
       4. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a snap-on closure ( 10 ) for securing an umbrella. 
     
     
       5. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a hoop. 
     
     
       6. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a ring for attaching a second body. 
     
     
       7. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a ring for attaching a second body. 
     
     
       8. A ground securing rod for supporting an umbrella having a shaft, comprising:
 a hollow metal rod ( 1 ) having an upper end and a base end, whose drive-in end has a flat helical section whose diameter is slightly larger than the rod ( 2 ), terminating in a tip ( 3 ) below the base end of rod, whereby the section is made with a body of the rod ( 1 ) itself by means of a reduction in its diameter in combination with stamping of the rod in order to flatten the rod, whereby the rod is twisted until the helical section is formed, which comprises a cone-shaped reinforcement at the base end ( 4 ) of rod, while at its upper end the rod ( 1 ) has an attached upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ), which comprises a seat ( 6 ) extending outwardly from the reinforcing piece for a torsion lever ( 7 ) that can be inserted into a through opening ( 8 ) that is located at the upper end of the rod and is positioned in an area covered by the upper reinforcing piece ( 5 ), whereby the shaft of the umbrella extends through the opening of the reinforcing piece and hollow rod. 
 
     
     
       9. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein the seat is formed by one or more U-shaped protruding bodies that are equipped with lateral reinforcements ( 9 ) that encompass the torsion lever ( 7 ), clamping it in a position that is parallel to the axis of the rod ( 1 ). 
     
     
       10. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) is of variable shape so that the rod can be adapted to different uses. 
     
     
       11. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a snap-on closure ( 10 ) for securing an umbrella. 
     
     
       12. The ground securing rod in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein an upper area of the reinforcing piece ( 5 ) has a hoop.
